Chapter 4620: Prelude (Part 2)

Thomas didn't give Bruce half a good look, first glaring at him, but then Martha glared at him. Thomas cleared his throat, walked over, and patted Bruce on the shoulder: "Don't do this next time. Otherwise, your mother and I won't be able to take you away either."

Bruce didn't refute, just smiled at him. Thomas said: "Considering that the Justice League of the multiverse doesn't really want to see you recently, you'd better not go to the real world. Just stay in your mother's mental world, she will take good care of you."

"Of course, I naturally want to too," Bruce grabbed Martha's hand. "But I can't stay in Mom's mental world for too long; my thinking will also consume her spirit. Let's go to Battleworld."

"Can mental bodies go to Battleworld too?"

"Normally it shouldn't be possible, but doesn't Battleworld have acquaintances?"

So Thomas and Martha came to the Battleworld teleporter. They walked into the teleporter. And when entering Battleworld, Bruce appeared. Martha walked over wanting to hold his hand, but didn't touch anything.

"Oh, don't worry, I'm a mental body now. Actually, it's an illusion, there is no substantial existence, but it can barely move."

"Does this really have no impact?" Martha said worriedly. "Otherwise, it's better to..."

"It doesn't matter, Mom, you and Dad go back first. I'm going to say hello to an old friend in the office, and then I'll be there."

Martha left, looking back every three steps. Bruce came to the Battleworld Administrator's office. As soon as he entered, the entire office cheered, and many paper balls and paper airplanes were thrown over.

"What should I call you? The biggest crisis in the multiverse?" The Beyonder shouted. "You caused a huge disaster this time!"

"Not bigger than the ones you caused," Bruce said while turning his head, looking at the wall beside him. There was a circular area on that wall that was clearly a different color from the surrounding wall.

"Don't look. That was also caused by the biggest crisis in the multiverse," the Beyonder said irritably. "The Creator just thought the Administrator's job was too easy, that's why he created the two of you."

"Where's Greed?"

"He'll be here in a while," the Beyonder sat down while shaking his head. Soon Greed came in. But he wasn't using Schiller's body, but Nyarlathotep's.

"Oh my god, you don't know how hard it is to escape from Charles's clutches!" Greed almost immediately started shouting. "I really said everything I could, moved Erik out, and even moved out several..."

"Did you sneak out?"

"Of course. Can't let other personality traits know, otherwise they wouldn't stay in the High Tower," Greed shook his head. "Are you okay?"

"What could happen to me?" Bruce said. "But I really did catch a big fish outside the Source Wall."

"How did it go? Who did you catch?"

They were at the desk, both leaning forward with their elbows on the table. Bruce looked left and right, and said somewhat sneakily: "Creator Goddess Perpetua!"

"Really?!" Greed said somewhat shocked. "Directly the Creator Goddess? Didn't run into the Upside-Down Man?"

"No, I originally thought the one coming would be the Upside-Down Man, after all, I had made a deal with him before. But I didn't expect a big one to come directly."

"Oh my god, you have work to do now," Greed said. "But you have to be careful, that guy is very strong. I'll send you the information later."

"What are you two doing here?" the Beyonder asked. "Did you collude long ago?"

"That's not it," Bruce said. "This matter wasn't colluded long ago, but we had wanted to go outside the Source Wall to see for a long time. Before, he had provided me with information about existences outside the Source Wall, otherwise I wouldn't have found the Upside-Down Man."

"Then what are you aiming for?" the Beyonder asked. "Just to find some work for the Administrator of the neighboring universe?"

"How is that possible, our two universes are closely related, sharing weal and woe. It won't work if I only develop on this side; Arrogance doesn't move at all, if I don't discuss with Bruce, what else can I do?"

"I have doubts about the word 'development'," the Beyonder sat down again.

"Alright, let's discuss the matter of the Creator Goddess," Greed said. "Borrowing her power is indeed dealing with a tiger for its skin, but for those of us in this line of work..."

Greed stopped here, and Bruce flipped his hand, signaling him to continue. Greed's words took a sharp turn: "But for those of us in this line of work, we still have to actively absorb lessons and learn more from our predecessors..."

Bruce watched him staring straight behind him. He turned his head and saw a pair of blue eyes.

"Continue, what about the Creator Goddess?" Anatoly asked with his arms crossed. "What plans do you have?"

"This... plan, there is no plan. But... there is still a little budget I want..." Greed started stuttering.

Bruce watched Anatoly walk into the room and sit down, and asked somewhat puzzled: "Who is this?"

Greed then remembered that the faces of the doctor and nurse in his memory were deliberately blurred, just to prevent mind-reading ability users from seeing their specific appearances directly. Bruce might know about the existence of the doctor and nurse, but didn't know their specific appearances. And the entire multiverse was gossiping about Lucifer and Anatoly's broken business, while Bruce and the Earth were still hung on the wall. He didn't even eat this mouthful of melon.

Greed suddenly felt it was a pity. So, he gave Bruce a wink. The two walked to the coffee machine together. Bruce just opened his mouth to ask, Greed shook his head, touched him with gray mist, and sent him a whole compressed package.

This compressed package is the complete version, without deleting the part about Schiller. Therefore, it is exceptionally long and exceptionally complex. So much so that with Bruce's reading speed, he would have to read for a long time.

But he didn't have time to finish reading. Because at this time, the office door was slammed open. Lucifer waved his wings and rushed in angrily.

"ANATOLY!!! How dare you say I drank with Constantine?! What's going on with Reed?! Why would he know about you and my..."

"What about you and me?" Anatoly asked.

This completely interrupted Lucifer's chanting. He hammered the office desk forcefully: "You clearly deceived me, but you used Constantine to accuse me. And you also made a new friend in the process. And it's Reed Richards! He almost blasted my wings with a shot!"

"Not for me," Anatoly said lightly.

Everyone in the room was stunned. The Beyonder stared at Anatoly with wide eyes. Greed also had an expression of disbelief. Bruce, who had just finished digesting all that information, was about to exclaim, but was covered by Greed.

Now everyone had one feeling—how dare you?!

Greed didn't even have the heart to watch the show. He took a deep breath, walked over, and pulled Anatoly out of the door: "Are you crazy? How can you..."

"How can I what?"

"Break his heart like this," Greed's expression became serious. "You clearly know..."

"A-Zhi. This is why I didn't want him to know I was back," Anatoly looked into Greed's eyes. "Because if he knew, I would have to push him away in this way."

"Then why exactly..."

"You deleted your memory, so you don't know," Anatoly looked at Greed's eyes. "You can't know either."

Greed took a sharp breath. He shook his head and said: "No matter what we are planning, there definitely wouldn't be such a step. You would never agree to do anything at the cost of hurting your friend's heart."

"This is already the gentlest way I can use," Anatoly also looked a bit helpless. "I didn't even bring up those old things in Hell with him again."

"There are still old things?!"

"Why would you think that when I first met Lucifer, who represents Arrogance, the movement we made would be smaller than Bruce and Arrogance? How do you think Hell was emptied?"

Greed was dumbfounded. How big a movement Bruce and Arrogance made, how could he not know? But thinking about it, it's also true. Lucifer is Arrogance among Arrogance; this word was created for him. But Anatoly isn't Batman; he has plenty of strength and means; if these two collide, I'm afraid God would have a headache watching, right?

Greed went through the timeline again. When Anatoly used his body to meet Lucifer for the first time, he was full of resentment because of the collapse of the Soviet Union and plucked a feather from Lucifer.

This is the information known so far. But another known information is that Lucifer's temper is truly huge.

If he were a person who could endure, he wouldn't have reached the point of arguing with God until now. In other words, he and God are true father and son, and they could argue like this. Facing a person who plucked his feather, what kind of good face could he have?

Greed also thought that in the Sandman's story, his lover Nada was imprisoned in Hell by Lucifer. But these two actually had no grudges before this; Lucifer did it purely for fun.

And it was also said in the comics that Lucifer had just gone to Hell and started the Hell War. That was a dark and lightless fight. He didn't have any other purpose for doing this, not even to compete for the position of Satan, it was just for fun. It can be seen how bad this person is. Would he really let go of the person who plucked his feather?

How guilty must such a person be to be able to be scolded without fighting back like this? Greed looked into the room frequently; why did he feel more and more that Lucifer might deserve it?

After Bruce finished reading the entire timeline, he naturally deduced this point. He pulled Lucifer aside and said: "What did you do?"

"What do you mean what did I do? Why don't you ask him..."

"I know you," Bruce had an expression of "stop it," "But if you weren't guilty, could you suffer this grievance?"

Lucifer opened his mouth, found he couldn't refute, and then became angry from embarrassment, pushed Bruce away, leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, and didn't speak.

Greed, who walked over, gave Bruce a wink. Bruce went to find Anatoly. Anatoly was obviously very satisfied with him, because after all, he was the Batman of the Gotham he saved.

Bruce wasn't quite sure of his attitude. However, soon, Anatoly walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Hanging those guys on the Source Wall is a good method. But the process was still a bit rough. You should understand some cosmic structural science, right? In fact, you didn't need to use the channel in the Dark Realm at all at that time. That was a bit too dangerous, there are better methods..."

Greed grabbed Lucifer, who wanted to rush over, stared at him, and then said: "I advise you to confess early, otherwise don't blame me for doing something big."

"Tch, that set of yours..."

"I know where Gabriel is."

Lucifer closed his eyes forcefully: "What does he have to do with me. He can be wherever he wants."

"Admit it, Lucifer. Everyone in your life is moving away from you. You are always unable to hold onto them," Greed looked at him. "Anatoly deceived you, but in the end, he still returned to your side. Isn't that so?" ===== CHAPTER 4621 =====
